Sonu Sood named ambassador of Delhi franchise of Pro Kabaddi League
New Delhi : Bollywood actor Sonu Sood was on Wednesday named the Team Ambassador and key supporter of Dabang Delhi Kabaddi Club (DDKC), the Delhi franchise of the Pro Kabaddi League. The event is set to enter its fourth edition.
As the ambassador, Sonu, who featured in the movie “Dabangg”, will be cheering and motivating the team from the stands during their home leg in Delhi from July 24-27 at Thyagaraj Sports Complex and across other venues in the country where the team will be playing.
“Kabaddi is a game which I have played and cherished since my childhood and I never thought that one day, I will become the face of it. I am truly ecstatic to join this team,” Sonu said during a conference here.
“The team resonates the spirit of north India and has over the seasons built a strong connection with the entire region and the country,” said Saumya Khaitan, CEO, DDKC.
Sonu pointed out how “DDKC has added some exceptional players to the squad like experienced international all-rounder Meraj Sheykh from Iran, the calm and composed Deepak Narwal and a few more.”
“In the fourth season of the league, DDKC has a novel composition for the players that are raring to compete for the trophy,” added the actor, who will be engaging with Dabang Delhi fans online and on the ground.
He will also be training with the players during the league.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
